We’re not messing around here - this drinking chocolate is very rich and very self indulgent with a super smooth mouthfeel - sweet, but not syrupy sweet.

Again a great product that we use for so many other things i.e. desserts as well as drinking it.
Brian
Still consider this to be the best chocolate around, very versatile and of course the great flavour. Please don't stop production
Jamie
Best chocolate around, easy to make and super tasty
Brian Rose

As always, excellent, as well as great hot chocolate makes a great "sprinkle" over fruit and yoghurt as a dessert.

Reordered this chocolate as its seems to disappear very quickly with a family around. Will be reordering to give to brother and sister for their birthdays when in due course as they are both chocoholics!

The chocolate is wonderful and I am not a chocolate drinker! Full and deep flavour and to be really indulgent add a dash of a Scottish whisky cream :)
Iona
Love this chocolate, wouldn't be without it, only wish I could buy bigger bags!
Gav
This is the best hot chocolate I have tried. I use with 1/3 double cream to make it even smoother.
Neelam
I have tried hot chocolate in this way with other manufacturers, but never tasted great. This is gorgeous, not overly rich, not bitter, just right on a cold night

Our Delivery Policy

All orders placed before 13:00hrs 'normally' go out the same day. We do not guarantee orders go out the same day as ordered.

UK Mail Next Day  - using this service you can order up to 10kg (38 x 250g bags) will ensure your order gets to you the next working day once the order is despatched from the roastery.

If you use this service you maybe required to sign for the delivery unless you elect to take responsibility for loss if left in a safe place. You will receive an email update from UKMail with a one hour delivery window and using the consignment number you track your order.

Order confirmation – this means we have received your order and the coffee is yet to be roasted.
Shipped confirmation – this means your order has left our roastery by your chosen method.

Do we meet our delivery deadlines?

We try our best to meet the delivery deadline quoted, but on the odd occasion a parcel can be delayed due to reasons that are out of our control.

Why don't we offer free postage?

Nothing is free in life. We know you all love free postage and sometimes we do offer it as part of a promotion, but it is our policy to charge for postage. We have considered offering free postage but the costs would have to be absorbed elsewhere by you the customer. We don’t hide our postage costs.

Missing, Damaged or Incorrect Orders

We try very hard to ensure you receive your order in pristine condition. If you do not receive all your products or in the unlikely event that a product arrives damaged, please contact us via the email address within the 'contact us' section of the website.

Please note: Royal Mail does not class an international shipment as lost or missing for 28 working days unfortunately we can not take any action until this time has passed.  During that time we recommend that you ask your local sorting office / post office if they've tried to deliver (even if they haven't left a card) and ask your neighbours if your order has been left with them.  You should also check that the delivery address you gave us is correct, this can be found on your shipping confirmation email.  If your delivery still hasn't arrived after 14 working days and you have performed the above steps then please email us.

Additional Information

We developed for our wholesale customers just the most outstanding Belgian drinking chocolate known to mankind (probably). Our wholesale customers have had so many requests for the drinking chocolate to be supplied in a smaller retail bag for their customers to take home we thought we’d oblige.

The drinking chocolate shavings come in a 250g resealable bag and are made from the finest Belgian chocolate using 100% Cocoa Butter and 100% Natural Vanilla as opposed to regular hot cocoa drinks. The 100% cocoa butter and natural vanilla provides an very rich and indulgent chocolate taste with smooth mouth feel.

How To Make

It's up to you how much chocolate to use depending on what style of hot chocolate you want to make, although we recommend starting with 30g per 340ml (12oz) mug. Find a small saucepan, pour in 320ml of milk (it may as well be full fat), toss in your Belgian drinking chocolate shavings and heat (do not boil). Plop on some fresh whipped cream if you like and some more chocolate shavings. Slide in a spoon and/or straw and begin your own chocolate therapy session.
